# Disable a diagram language in Confluence

To disable a diagram language in Confluence, a Confluence administrator opens the Capable app's settings, selects the **Diagrams** tab and switches the language off under **Available diagram libraries**, then selects **Save**. The language disappears from the picker, the byline search and the templates on offer, but diagrams already on pages keep rendering.

---

## Before you start

* You are a Confluence administrator.
* Agree the list first. The setting applies to the whole site, and saving writes the whole list, so two administrators editing at once can overwrite each other.

---

## Steps

1. Open Confluence administration.
2. Open the app's settings page: **Capable**, or **Capable Diagrams** if you use the standalone app.
3. Select the **Diagrams** tab.
4. Under **Available diagram libraries**, switch off the languages you do not want, or pick a preset such as **Minimal**, **Standard** or **Complete**.
5. Select **Save**.

---

## What happens next

* The language is no longer offered when people insert a diagram, in the byline search, or among templates and examples.
* Diagrams already drawn in it keep rendering and can still be opened.
* Turning draw.io off also turns off **Visio import**, because imports open in the draw.io editor.

## If it does not work

* The message **Unsaved changes. Save to apply them for everyone on this site.** means you have not saved yet.
* A language you want is missing even though you never turned it off: TikZ is off by default. See [Enable TikZ](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/enable-tikz.html).
